Pleasure Garden involved spending time
hanging out in swinger and fetish clubs.
Being part of “Fake Holidays,” this project
also had me
fascinated by an artificial environment
that gives rise to a sort of glaring hyper-reality.
Taking photographs in locations where sexual practices
take place is not always a simple matter: I had to
unequivocally distance myself from the role of the
voyeur—being in
places where photography is equated with pornography.
